Former Rep. Cori Bush, the ex-"Squad" member from Missouri, says Israel has revoked her entry visa, JNS reports.
In a video posted Friday, Bush said she was going through a TSA checkpoint on her way to Tel Aviv when a TSA agent told her that her entry visa to Israel had been revoked.
Bush, who blamed the American Israel Public Affairs Committee for her primary loss, took a group to the region in October. After that trip, she registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act to run "educational fact-finding missions to the West Bank" for the International Federation for Rights and Development, according to U.S. Department of Justice filings cited by JNS.
Israel's Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism says a person working for a nongovernmental organization "whose primary activities are conducted with Palestinian residents" must have a work visa sponsored by that NGO. JNS said it was unclear whether Bush had the correct visa now that she works for the nonprofit, and it has asked the Israeli consulate for comment.
